Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker
Chapter 187

Chapter 187

As soon as Yolanda said that she had lost 4 million dollars, Mabel’s face turned pale.

Memories immediately flashed across her mind.

A few days ago, she really couldn’t stand Melody, who was a thorn in her side, so she secretly took Yolanda’s card to the black market and spent 4 million dollars to hire the top assassins of the black market.

However, for some reason, those assassins returned empty–handed and refused to return her money.

That money was all she had. Her wallet was empty, and she couldn’t maintain her usual social life as a socialite.

However, she did not dare to tell Yolanda about this, so in order to make up for this deficit, she secretly used the card that Yolanda rarely used to make up for her deficit.

Unexpectedly Yolanda actually thought that it was done by Melody,

Mabel panicked for a moment. She did not know if she should make things clear now

However, Mabel did not notice that her expression was seen by Melody. The corners of Melody’s mouth slowly curled into an imperceptible smile.

When Russell heard Yolanda’s words, he could not help but be stunned for two seconds before asking in a louder voice, “Is + million dollars missing from the card? Why are you only telling me such a big thing now!!”

Yolanda pretended to be aggrieved and sniffed. “It’s all because you came back and only scolded me. I didn’t even have the chance to interrupt… Moreover, I can’t publicize this matter. It’s not just Melody’s reputation, but our entire family’s reputation…

Yolanda intentionally accused Melody of being the person who stole the 4 million dollars.

Russell was immediately enraged. He picked up a coffee cup on the coffee table and threw it at Melody’s head angrily.

Melody reacted quickly and tilted her head, Only then did the cup miss her forehead.

With a bang, the cup fell to the ground and shattered.

On the other side, Mabel was so frightened that her entire body trembled. She immediately gave up the thought of admitting that 4 million dollars. was taken by her

Seeing that Melody wanted to dodge, Russell raised his hand to slap Melody, but Melody caught it firmly

He glared angrily at Melody. “You’ve done so many embarrassing things, yet you dare to stop me! I wish I could strangle you to death when you were born, you bastard!”

Melody met Russell’s gaze coldly without flinching. “Do you believe whatever Yolanda says? You can hit me, but I have to make this clear. I didn’t Lake 4 million dollars!”

Her attitude was firm, but Russell did not believe her at all He pulled his hand back forcefully and gave her a fierce slap,

This time, Melody did not dodge and forcefully received the slap. Her face immediately burned with pain. She could even feel the teeth in her mouth loosening for a moment. There seemed to be a bloody taste spreading in her mouth.

Mabel was so frightened that she covered her eyes. She could not believe what would have happened to her if she had told the truth.

At this moment, Maria’s voice came from the door, “Russell!”

Russell originally y wanted to continue slapping Melody, but when he heard his mother’s voice, he could not help but stop.

Maria walked to Melody and caressed Melody’s face with her old hands.

“Melody, Melody…” Maria’s voice was trembling. No one knew if it was from heartache or anger,

Melody was furious and indifferent after being slapped just now. However, when she saw Maria’s trembling hands, her tears seemed to be out of control and ran down uncontrollably.

“Grandma. I’m fine. Her voice was hoarse as she cried and tried her best to force a smile.

Maria’s heart ached even more when she saw Melody like this.

She pulled Melody behind her and looked at Russell coldly. “Look at what you’ve done! When will you change your habit of hitting people at any

me to death!”

time? If you really like to hit people so much, hit me and beat me to d

Russell was usually very respectful of Maria, but today, Melody had crossed his bottom line.

He walked forward with a cold expression and said, “Mom, what are you talking about? I know you dote on Melody, but I have to teach her a lesson this time! Not only did she steal 4 million dollars from Yolanda, but she also learned to frame Mabel, causing Mabel to lose her right to participate in the Best Celebrity. If I don’t teach her, she will make a bigger mistake in the future. At that time, what she’ll get is not just a slap.”

Yolanda also nodded. “Mom, Russell is educating Melody. It’s better if you don’t interfere

“Ha!” Maria laughed coldly and looked at Yolanda.

Her eyes were filled with scrutiny, making Yolanda subconsciously look away.

Maria said, “If what you said is true, no matter how you teach Melody a lesson, I won’t say a word. But according to my understanding of Melody. she is definitely not someone who would do such things. You said that she stole 4 million dollars. Where’s the evidence? Did she admit it herself?

“Russell, Melody is your daughter, and you actually don’t trust her. Do you just punish her without caring about the truth? Do you think that only Mabel is your daughter?”

Russell was a little embarrassed. “Of course not… It’s just that nothing like this happened at home before she returned to Silverlake, so

Maria asked. “So you’re sure she did it?

“Well… Russell hestated.

When Yolanda saw that this matter was about to be resolved because of Maria, she immediately decided to use her trump card, “Mom, I didn’t want to blow things up, but since you think Russell and I have wronged Melody. I can only make things clear.”

As Yolanda spoke, she glanced at Melody coldly and said, “During this period of time, Melody has been leaving early and returning late. She has almost no time to stay at home. Cut of consideration for her safety. I asked the butler to follow her and protect her. However, the butler accidentally discovered that she had actually entered the gambling hosise!”

“What?” Russell widened his eyes and pointed at Melody’s nose angrily. “How many more surprises do you have that I don’t know? How long have you been in Silverlake? How dare you go to the gambling house!”

Maria did not look too good either. She frowned and asked Melody. “Melody, is what she said true?”

Melody sneered in her heart, but she looked aggrieved, ‘Grandma, how long have I been in Silverlake? I can’t even recognize

ze the way. How can I know where those places are?”

Maria heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Yolanda roldly. “Did you hear that! How could she possibly know where the gambling house is?”

Yolanda sighed and said, “Mom, I was afraid of misunderstanding Melody too, so I specially went to ask. That gambling house is the largest underground gambling house in Silverlake. Anyone who enters that place will be registered with their real name. If you really don’t believe me, I can use my connections to transfer the name list that day. I’m afraid Melody won’t let me transfer the name list because she is afraid that you’ll punish her, right?

She looked at Melody with a faint smile, her eyes filled with mockery. ‘Melody, now you should be afraid, right?”
